In case you missed this in my stories, I’m pledging for @covenanthousebc to fight youth homelessness.
.
.
Young people need a home now more than ever. Because let me be clear — racism, police brutality, riots, the pandemic: these are very real and serious issues that we are witnessing and facing. But in order for us to secure a better future, we need to take care of young people right now.
.
.
Whatever you can give will make difference. And I know compassion fatigue and financial restrictions all too well so if you can’t donate, consider sharing this post or participating with me at #chsleepout.

Thank you so much for your support! And special thanks to @c.a.i.s.a.n @mvancastro @agibailtojirros @maritzgb @andrelorenzo for making the pledge and bringing to 50% of my goal!

On February 28th, Gleneagle Secondary School students participated in their 7th Annual Sleep Out. They continue to sleep outside year after year because they believe in supporting youth who are experiencing homelessness. #CHSleepOut
The students shared this powerful thought: “Youth. A simple word, but in reality? They’re our friends, our peers, similar in age or … even younger. We sleep outside so we can help someone sleep in a warm bed, in a safe place, without having to worry about shelter. We will sleep outside, with cardboard and a sleeping bag, so another youth will be able to sleep peacefully in a bed at Covenant House.” We want to thank @gleneaglesecondaryschool and it’s student sleepers for raising over $2798.50 which will provide crucial care for youth in our community!

Happy International Children’s Day! I want to invite you to join our family in doing a “Sleep Out America” sometime this summer. We will raise money for homeless children. I know things are crazy right now but we can plan a nice night with our family and focus on helping others! ❤️ The fundraiser link is on my Facebook page.

Andre and I are sleeping out, so young people don’t have to, and we need your generous donations! Link the bio.

On July 10 we’ll be participating in #chsleepout. With only a sleeping bag and a piece of cardboard, we’ll be spending the night away from our bed and raising funds in order to ensure homeless youth in Vancouver have a safe place to stay.

And hey, I know there’s been so much happening in the world right now. It’s overwhelming to care about every single thing. But if youth homelessness is something that particularly tugs your heart, please consider donating or even participating in this cause. Link is in my bio to learn more and feel free to message me if you have any questions about the cause.

Thanks for all your help! ❤️

I’m Sleeping Out tonight in a blind in the woods. Why? To show solidarity and to raise awareness and funds for homeless kids. The world can be cruel and scary. At least for tonight, there are 180 kids safe and sound at Covenant House in Newark.

On July 10th, I am giving up my bed for one night so young people can sleep safely at Covenant House Vancouver.
I will Sleep Out in an uncomfortable place for one night in solidarity with hundreds of young people who have nowhere else to go every night. Sleep Out: Home Edition is a way to show these young people that we care.
By making a donation to me, you are helping to provide critical funds and awareness for the Street Outreach Program at Covenant House Vancouver.
Please support me or register to Sleep Out yourself! Every donation shows young people at Covenant House Vancouver that they are not alone. #chsleepout
